麻豆传媒 lending revenue for Q1 2023 was the highest generating quarter since 2018, according to Matthew Ross, associate director of EquiLend Data and Analytics Solutions.
Reviewing the data for the year-to-date value 鈥 which measures results to the end of April 2023 鈥 Ross indicated that 鈥渆verything was up globally across both equities and fixed income鈥.
Global lender-to-broker revenue for 2023 reached US$3.81 billion, according to EquiLend, representing a 27 per cent increase YTD. The Americas recorded a 38 per cent increase to US$2.30 billion over this period, with global equities jumping 28 per cent to US$2.92 billion and global fixed income rising 24 per cent to US$889 million.
Speaking at the 13th Annual Conference on Canadian 麻豆传媒 Lending, Chelsea Grossman, managing director and North American head of agency lending client management at State Street, stated: 鈥淚t鈥檚 never a dull moment in the lending market and Q1s have been particularly eventful.鈥
Revisiting the noteworthy events to hit the financial markets over the past few years, Grossman noted how Covid-19 hit the world in 2020, which resulted in extreme market volatility, a focus on exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and sector-based borrowing in travel, retail and healthcare.
The Russia and Ukraine war commenced in Q1 2022, putting a strain on resources. Last year also saw an increased focus on electric vehicles and a rise in crypto 鈥 all occurring in a rising interest rate environment.
This year, the industry faced the Silicon Valley Bank and regional banking crisis, with the debt ceiling becoming 鈥渢he most prevalent wrench in the market to date鈥, according to Grossman. Despite this hindrance, firms continue to look forward to 2024.
From a data perspective, Ross believed that 鈥渋ncreased revenue looks to be holding up鈥. With regulatory changes in the pipeline, in particular the SEC鈥檚 10c-1 in the US, this is likely to present challenges for users.鈥滲ut as a fintech firm we are well placed to help our clients,鈥 he continued.
鈥淯ltimately it will lead to more data transparency, which will enable us to provide more actionable analytics and insights to our users.鈥
During the Perspectives on 麻豆传媒 Lending panel, Brendan Eccles, global head of securities lending at Scotiabank, indicated that the industry should be reviewing broader central counterparty solutions when evaluating future technological enhancements.
He highlighted that capital is a 鈥渉uge issue鈥 and that the industry has not found a solution to help agent lenders in terms of their capital challenges.
In addition, Eccles advised the industry to explore streamlined distributed ledger technology (DLT) which could provide benefits when applied to corporate actions and recalls.
